Vocabulary Assignment

Isaiah is ten years old and is completing a portion of his schooling for the year at Youth Brigade, the tutoring center where I work. The following are sentences he composed for a vocabulary assignment he completed this week as homework for his tutor, Tommy:

Isaiah was watching Tommy farting attentively.

Tommy farted and Isaiah said it was almost palpable.

Isaiah pooped and Tommy was distraught because it was the size of Tommy.

Isaiah had to fart so bad for a year and he was so apprehensive; then when he farted it blew a hole through the earth.

"Isaiah pooped and Tommy was distraught because it was the size of Tommy."

That's my favorite. It reminds me of an episode of South Park, where Stan's dad was in competition with Bono for who could make the biggest poo. I'm serious! They were measuring the poos in kuricks and everything! The episode is called More Crap from South Park season 11.
